냉열발전기술은 일본에서 많이 연구되어 다수의 상업 플랜트가 가동되고 있다. 일본에서는 천연가스 공급압력의 이원화(40 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 10 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$)로 직접 팽창방식을 적용할 수 있어 냉열발전의 경제성이 유리한 반면 국내에서는 비교적 높은 압력(70kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$)의 단일 압력 공급체계에 적합한 냉열발전 시스템을 모색하여야 한다. 특히 발전용량 규모가 비교적 적은 냉열발전 시스템의 경제성 측면의 불리한 점을 고려할 때 적용 가능한 해당 발전공정들에 대해 전산모사의 방법을 이용하여 다양한 설계조건에서 최적의 조건들을 검토하여야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 LNG의 저온 Exergy를 이용한 Rankine Cycle, LNG의 압력 Exergy를 이용한 부분팽창 Cycle 및 이 두 싸이클의 혼합 공정인 Linde 공정에 대해 현재 인수기지에서 운영되고있는 각종 설비들의 설계 데이타를 기준으로 상용모사기인 ASPEN PLUS를 이용, 국내 천연가스 공급 체계에 의거 각 공정별 최대 및 최적의 전력 발생 조건들을 검토하였다. 공정별 출력 및 엑서지 효율을 비교한 결과 약 3 ~ 6 Mw의 전력을 생산할 수 있음을 알 수 있었으며 최대 엑서지 효율은 37 %를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 부분직접팽창방식의 최적시스템을 제시하였고 동일한 전열면적인 경우 부분직접팽창과 랭킨 싸이클의 성능은 비슷한 것으로 확인되었다.

Scroll compressor has been used extensively for refrigeration since the early 1980's for its improved efficiency, greater reliability, smoother operation, lower noise and vibration. And also, nowadays, the scroll mechanism is used for expander even though in niche market yet. But scroll expander has not been used for high-temperature and high-pressure gas, because the continuous expansion of the gas causes a wide range of temperature distribution over the whole scroll wrap that leads to differential thermal expansion of scroll elements, which results in system vibrations, noise and efficiency losses. For the scroll expander to produce power more efficiently, all of radial and radial clearances between scroll wrap must be the same. In order to reduce differential thermal expansion in addition to improvements in thermal efficiency and specific power, we propose a scroll expander with heating structure. Heat-pipe heating structure is considered as the most effective method to heat the scroll expander at a uniform temperature. This paper includes some results of preliminary study of the scroll expander with heating structure and proposals of their systems for power generation and refrigeration.

The rapid increases in global energy demand and global warming need renewable energy sources such as solar thermal energy, biomass energy and waste heat. A ORC-based micro-CHP system(< 10 kWe) is one of the effective means to use renewable energy and solve energy problems because of its compactness, flexibilities and lower cost compared to other systems. The most important core components of the ORC is the expander which has a strong effect on the cycle efficiency. In the range of power output from 1 to 10 kW, the scroll expander is a good choice due to its performance and reliability. In this study, we have carried out an experimental study on an ORC equipped with oil-free scroll expander working with refrigerant R134a. We have measured power output and thermal efficiencies of the ORC and analyzed correlation between volumetric efficiencies of the expander and thermal efficiencies of the ORC.

In this paper, the performance analysis for evaporation capacity, total work and efficiency of the ocean thermal energy conversion(OTEC) power system using mixed refrigerant(R32,R152a) is conducted to find the effect of hot wasted water on OTEC power system. The system in this study is applied with two stage turbine, regenerator, cooler and separator on Organic Rankine Cycle. The commercial program HYSYS is used for the performance analysis. The main results were summarized as follows : The efficiency of the OTEC power cycle has a largely effect on the evaporation capacity and total work. As increasing temperature of heat source water, evaporator's capacity is decreased but total work increase. Otherwise, using hot wasted water bring effects not only increasing system efficiency but also declining evaporator's capacity. Thus With a thorough grasp of these effect, it is necessary to find way to use hot wasted water emitted by power plant and so on.

In this study, the effect of deep ocean condenser inlet temperature ($T_{DOI}$), condenser inlet pressure ($P_{cond,in}$), and thermal diffusivity on system efficiency of some selected refrigerants was analyzed using HYSYS. The proposed DOTEC cycle is similar to the reheat Rankine cycle but eliminates irreversibilities by bleeding a fraction of the steam between certain stages of the turbine. The evaporator inlet mass flow rate, inlet temperature of turbine 1, turbine efficiency and inlet and outlet temperature of heat source were imposed. The working fluids considered are sorted in ascending order of their molecular weights as R717, R600a and R152a. Results indicated that a fluid with a lower boiling point temperature like R717 needs a corresponding high heat source and/or evaporator inlet pressure. Also, the response of thermal diffusivity closely follows the change in TDOI as an increase in $T_{DOI}$ increases $P_{cond,in}$ which reduces thermal diffusivity and system efficiency. Furthermore, the fluid with the nominal boiling point temperature has the highest efficiency with efficiency decreasing with an increase in TDOI.

This work examines the most viable nuclear technology options for future underwater designs that would meet high safety standards as well as good economic potential, for construction in the 2030-2040 timeframe. The top five concepts selected from a survey of 13 nuclear technologies were compared to a small modular pressurized water reactor (PWR) designed with a conventional layout. In order of smallest to largest primary system size where the reactor and all safety systems are contained, the top five designs were: (1) a lead-bismuth fast reactor based on the Russian SVBR-100; (2) a novel organic cooled reactor; (3) an innovative superheated water reactor; (4) a boiling water reactor based on Toshiba's LSBWR; and (5) an integral PWR featuring compact steam generators. A similar study on potential attractive power cycles was also performed. A condensing and recompression supercritical $CO_2$ cycle and a compact steam Rankine cycle were designed. It was found that the hull size required by the reactor, safety systems and power cycle can be significantly reduced (50-80%) with the top five designs compared to the conventional PWR. Based on the qualitative economic consideration, the organic cooled reactor and boiling water reactor designs are expected to be the most cost effective options.

A novel design process of a parallel multi-flow type air-cooled condenser of a dual-loop waste heat recovery system with Rankine steam cycles for improving the fuel efficiency of gasoline automobiles has been investigated focusing on reduction of the pressure drop inside the micro-tubes. The low temperature condenser plays a role to dissipate heat from the system by condensing the low temperature loop working fluid sufficiently. However, the refrigerant has low evaporation temperature enough to recover the waste from engine coolant of about $100^{\circ}C$ but has small saturation enthalpy so that excessive mass flow rate of the LT working fluid, e.g., over 150 g/s, causes enormously large pressure drop of the working fluid to maintain the heat dissipation performance of more than 20 kW. This paper has dealt with the scheme to design the low temperature condenser that has reduced pressure drop while ensuring the required thermal performance. The number of pass, the arrangement of the tubes of each pass, and the positions of the inlet and outlet ports on the header are most critical parameters affecting the flow uniformity through all the tubes of the condenser. For the purpose of the performance predictions and the parametric study for the LT condenser, we have developed a 1-dimensional user-friendly performance prediction program that calculates feasibly the phase change of the working fluid in the tubes. An example is presented through the proposed design process and compared with an experiment.

A series of numerical simulation has been carried out to study thermo-hydraulic characteristics of a primary surface type heat exchanger, which is designed for the evaporator and condenser of a geothermal ORC. Working fluid is geothermal water at hot side and R-245fa, which is a refrigerant designed for ORC, at cold side. Amplitude ratio of the channel and Reynolds number are considered as design parameters. Nusselt number is presented for the Reynolds number ranging from 50 to 150 and compared to analytic solutions. The result shows that higher amplitude ratio channel gives better heat transfer performance within the range of investigation.

본 논문에서는 유기랭킨 사이클(organic rankine cycle: ORC) 발전 시스템에서 터빈과 발전기의 속도를 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 다이오드 정류기에 의해 왜곡된 발전기 3상 단자 전압은 PLL 기법을 이용한 속도추정의 성능을 저하시키므로, 정상분 추출과 맥동성분 제거를 위한 상태관측기와 주파수 가변형 PR 제어기를 동기좌표계 PLL 기법에 적용하여 발전기의 속도를 추정한다. 제안하는 터빈과 발전기의 속도추정 방법은 실험 결과를 통해 그 성능을 검증한다.
